Abstract

The present invention relates to a solar tracking apparatus, and more particularly, to a solar tracking apparatus which can save power when rotating a solar cell unit and which has a simple structure. In detail, the solar tracking apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a solar cell unit that collects solar light and coverts the solar light into energy; a center shaft, one end of which is fixed onto a floor and extends upwardly, and the other end of which is coupled to the solar cell unit, wherein the center shaft is hinged onto the solar cell unit such that the solar cell unit rotates in the north and south directions; and a frame which is coupled to the center shaft, and which includes first rotation-limiting means for limiting the radius of rotation of the solar cell unit in the north and south directions, and second rotation-limiting means for limiting the radius of rotation of the solar cell unit in the east and west directions.
